You have to be a professional in every single thing you do.

I tend to have great chemistry with whomever I step in the ring with because of the way I train and came up in this business.

I think Raw, going forward, needs to be about the Superstars. It needs to be about the performers in the ring and not about how Stephanie McMahon and Mick Foley co-exist.

I'm the living proof that the WWE Universe wants to see wrestling. They want to see in-ring action.

I feel 'SmackDown' has the absolute best tag teams in the world: we have us; we have The New Day. We have the Usos. We have The Club. We have Sanity. We have the Hardys. We have Rusev and Nakamura.

I feel like everything in WWE I earn the hard way.

There is nothing like WWE live.

I guess I'm just a tough cookie.

I know the WWE is popular, but it is extremely popular here in the Middle East and the U.A.E.

I think, over my career, if you look at it in WWE, Sheamus has always been one of my biggest adversaries and one of the ones I would like to say I had some very memorable bouts with. It's definitely fun to be in the ring with him.

The last time I was in Abu Dhabi, I had a blast. I went jet-skiing in the Arabian Gulf, I went to Ferrari World, and went to Sheikh Zayed Mosque. I just enjoyed the city and the life. It was just amazing, and I am really looking forward to coming back.

I think the best things are the ones that happen organically and take a while because nothing really happens overnight if you think about it.

You only get one chance to make the first impression. And I made the biggest first impression ever by throwing the Big Show over the top rope.

Austin's a great wrestling town. There's a lot of WWE fans when we get there, and they're always really loud.

In the '90s, there was a big wrestling boom in Switzerland with Hulk Hogan, the Ultimate Warrior, and all those guys. It was on television in Switzerland on a German TV station for a year or so. That's when I saw wrestling for the first time. I was in the fifth or sixth grade and was a fan of it right away.

I think every person that brings a beach ball into a WWE arena should get ejected for life.

I always bring a post-workout protein shake with me and some cereal for the mornings.

Rugby and wrestling are sports for real athletes.

We pretty much have barnburners with every team. There's always new teams, there's always great teams, and you always want to be in the ring with the best.

The Royal Rumble is very difficult because, obviously, there are 30 people, and there are many superstars in it.

There's always a transition if you go to a new territory or a new company or a new country or wherever because there's different styles and different crowds that you perform in front of. Of course, it always takes a little bit of time to find your groove.

I'm sick of seeing John Cena against Randy Orton for the 500th time.

I was lucky enough to have many different tag partners.

To me, the Cesaro Section is the WWE Universe, and I really appreciate all the support.

I made a little name for myself in Europe, but when I moved to the United States, I had to start all over again.

I think I have faced pretty much everyone that is in the WWE.

Hard work doesn't guarantee success, but it does enhance its chances.

I grew up with WWE and New Japan, but when I started traveling to Germany, I had the chance to train with people like Christian Eckstein and Tony St. Clair. They were two of the cornerstones of the German 'beer tent' wrestling era, when they'd have 30-day tournaments in the same town.

There's definitely some stuff that I wear or used to wear, or I used to do in the ring, that I look back, and I'm like, 'Oh, what was I thinking?'

My dream would be fighting against whoever the WWE World Heavyweight Champion was at WrestleMania.

I'm a huge fan of Don Leo Jonathan. I love that era of wrestling.

I try to work out whenever I can.

Of course, to be WWE world champion is definitely on my list. Anybody who is not reaching for that proverbial brass ring is doing something wrong if they're in the WWE.

When I go to different countries, I want to know how to at least say hello and thank you. Language is a great hobby.

The Giant Swing is a throwback. I used it prior to WWE quite a bit. One of the days, I thought about bringing it back. It connected with the crowd. I've been doing it ever since.

Chikara is very fun-oriented. It's its own universe, but the fans are all in on it.

Safety is always paramount at WWE.

I was a big fan of Kurt Angle when I was growing up. Actually, his book is a big part of the reason that I work out so hard.

I used to live in Philly, so I was in Baltimore a lot wrestling before I got to WWE, wrestling for different promotions.

I still believe in old school values, I still believe in hard work, I still believe in wrestling, and people have showed that's what they want to see.

I let my actions do the talking, and that might take a little bit longer for people to see.

To me, I don't like to look back; I just like to look forward.

I'm the first one to always criticize myself, and I'm trying to find ways to get better.

I can beat anybody on any given day, and I don't compromise.

When I started, I learned the European style because that's what I wrestled the most.

If you look at the Intercontinental Champion, historically, that has always belonged to the best of the best in-ring talent, the best wrestler, whatever you want to call it, that came out night after night, produced night after night - and that will be me.

I don't mind listening to some yodel music. I don't think I'm particularly good at it, but that's the point, I guess.

Wrestling is about evolving, and you always want to evolve and develop yourself.

I'm extremely competitive, extremely ambitious, and always looking for ways to improve and move up, to do things better.

As long as you work hard, good things will come. I firmly believe that.
